Where a judge entered judgment in favor of the defendant and its parent company after a jury determined that the defendant was not contractually bound to indemnify the plaintiff for remedial measures and other losses, the judgment must be reversed because the judge erred in instructing the jury on the governing contractual obligations.

Where (1) an individual suffered injuries while working for an electric company on a renovation project for the plaintiff firm and (2) the plaintiff now seeks a declaration that the defendant insurance company is obligated to defend and indemnify the plaintiff in a law suit brought by the injury victim, I hold that the defendant must be granted summary judgment because the “Exclusion – Injury to Independent Contractors” provision in the general liability policy the defendant issued to the plaintiff bars coverage for the defense of claims such as the present one brought against the plaintiff.
